About HÁLOS
The problem we're solving:
Until now, there is no alternative in Brazil that provides large scale at low cost storage for CO₂, natural gas or hydrogen.Our solution:
We are developing a new business model identified as Cavern-as-a-Service (CaaS): a flexible, safe, scalable and economically viable solution for large scale storage and deliverability of CO₂, natural gas, methane and hydrogen in offshore (near coastal and shallow waters) salt domes. Our solution will profoundly transform the Brazilian energy and gas infrastructure and will provide new business opportunities to a wide range of industries.Our differentiator:
We combine unique geological assets already under mining licensing with deep expertise in developing salt caverns and profound knowledge of the Brazilian offshore operations, enabling an innovative solution for large-scale low-cost subsurface storage in Brazil.Our biggest achievement:
With a small but highly skilled team, we were able: (i) to obtain the mining rights necessary to open the salt caverns in the best salt domes available in Brazil; (ii) to obtain all the seismic and stratigraphy data necessary to quantify and design the desired salt caverns; and (iii) to develop the legal and regulatory roadmap necessary to transform the salt domes in strategic assets.Disclaimer:
